Rape

trigger warning.

Heart racing as you clean your body for the fifth time,

trying to get the scent of him off of you.

Your mother asks you what you were wearing.

You shrug.

Sit back down, shaking.

She keeps asking you if you want to talk about it.

No, no you do not.

You don't want to talk about how he beat you,

How he said not to tell anyone,

How he treated you like you were nothing but his f*****g property, literally, and how he would smack you every time you would scream, he would pull your hair, wrap his fingers around your throat...

No, I do not want to talk about it.

You tell her that you wanted to be alone, and she left.

Just because someone can't talk about something that happened,

It doesn't mean that they don't relive it every day.

Time for sleep? Oh the nightmares.
Did you mean "Just because someone CAN'T talk about something that happened" instead of can?
I definitely feel the emotions here.
I have written a few on the same subject in the past. I need to dig them out and post them.
